I have an altec lansing 5100 and creative sound blaster audigy.

I plug everything in and do a test in the creative mixer, front and rear channels are OK but the sound from the center channel is very weak. I think it come from the subwoofer while the center speak doesn't sound at all!

What is your experience with such configuration when the creative mixer test the center channel?

I figure it out, quiet complicated though.

The 5th channel (the central speaker) is connected by a cable to the sound card.

1 such cable could deliver 2 channels. That's why we have have stereo with 1 cable.

But the 5th channel is a single channel. The cable deliver that channel in 1 of its 2 channels. Says A with B empty.

My speaker send channel B instead to the center speaker instead. :(

** Why are these happening?!

What I do now to make it works is to pull out the cable a little bit so that the 'connection' is made between channel A and the center speaker.

COMPLICATED! but bottom line, it solve my problem. At least I can watch my DVD 9 now. :)
